Detroit Bad Boys

The Detroit Pistons couldn’t eecute down the stretch and fell to the Atlanta Hawks 126-120. The Pistons didn’t have any answers for Dejounte Murray, who got a featured role with Trae Young out. Murray was able to create space for smooth jumpers, and when Detroit defenders decided to crowd him, he knifed through the defense

The Motor City Cruise are officially the hottest (basketball) team in Detroit. Head coach Jamelle McMillan is off to an ideal start as a head coach, not only winning games but developing his own culture. The Cruise (2-0) defeated the Grand Rapids Gold in their first game Sunday and followed with a victory in the

This is one of the few “winnable” games the Pistons have on their schedule until after Thanksgiving. And that is not to discredit the Hawks, as they are clearly a better team, but they just aren’t up with the likes of Milwaukee, Philadelphia, or Golden State. With the way the Pistons are currently playing, it

There was no point in Sunday’s game where I would say that the Chicago Bulls were playing well. The fact that even when playing an all-around subpar game, they were easily able to outclass the Detroit Pistons is a major red flag for Detroit. The 119-108 loss for Detroit gives them sole possession of the

The Detroit Pistons went from up 16 to down 17. They went from playing a complete game on both ends of the floor to buckling under the same persistent problems the team has dealt with all year. They went from playing with energy and focus to suffering yet another injury to a major part of

I hope you’re able to contain your excitement for tonight’s In-Season Tournament game that pits the Detroit Pistons against the Philadelphia 76ers. It is Detroit’s first tournament game of the season. And of course, it is against one of the league’s best teams, and it is while they are still without a handful of important

Young teams have a very small margin of error no matter who they are playing. They have an even smaller margin of error when they are missing so many regular rotation players, especially ones that are experienced and can help in clutch moments. That is the reality the current Pistons are facing and it was

There are moments every game where you see how Cade Cunningham could become a dominant NBA player. The Detroit Pistons guard is clearly capable of scoring at the rim even without explosive athleticism. Using his size and patience to get to his spot and easily hitting a mid-range jumper. Finding cutters even while being swallowed

When the Detroit Pistons are playing meaningful basketball, Cade Cunningham and Marcus Sasser will be two of the biggest reasons why. The young backcourt went deep in their bag against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday and came away with… another loss. Detroit’s guards got them a lead in the fourth quarter, but the team crumbled

The injury-depleted Detroit Pistons have signed a familiar face, agreeing to a one-year deal with free agent forward Kevin Knox. Knox played 42 games with the Pistons last season before being dealt to the Portland Trail Blazers. The 24-year-old Knox averaged 5.6 points and shot 46.9% from the field and 37% from 3 last year

The Pistons season was off to a promising 2-1 start, but as the injuries have started to pile up, the fun, defensively gritty team has turned into a nightly question of who will play and how much they will lose by. The NBA schedule makers haven’t done the Pistons any favor, as after a 4th

When we last spoke, the Detroit Pistons were 2-1 through three games, and Sasser was a few seconds short of logging 24 total minutes. In the five games since then, he’s averaging 24.8 minutes per game, and while the team is 0-5 over that stretch, Sasser has looked like one of the Pistons’ best players

A night after their head coach questioned their toughness, the Detroit Pistons fought for four quarters, but they still came up short 120-109 against the Golden State Warriors. Steph Curry led all scorers with 34 points, while the Pistons were led by 21 apiece from the starting backcourt of Killian Hayes and Cade Cunningham. “I’m

The Detroit Pistons have an uphill battle going against the Golden State Warriors on Monday, and the task got even tougher as the team has lost another player to the injury/unavailable list. Veteran forward Joe Harris, the team’s best (only?) 3-point shooter with a track record is out tonight with a right shoulder sprain. He

A performance worthy of the original Bad Boys this was not. The Detroit Pistons, donning their Bad Boys alternate uniforms and court for the first time were easily dispatched at home by an undermanned Phoenix Suns team 120-106. The Suns were without Bradley Beal and Devin Booker, but that doesn’t matter when you have Kevin

It’s been an up-and-down start to the season for the Detroit Pistons, but let’s hope Monty Williams is able to provide some calm and focus as the Pistons debut their Bad Boy uniforms and court and face Williams’ former team the Phoenix Suns. The superstar-led Suns are down two of said stars — Bradley Beal

We’re not even 10 games into the season and Detroit Pistons fans have experienced a roller coaster of emotions through six games. They were a good defensive team. Then a bad one. Cade was great. Then he wasn’t. Killian Hayes couldn’t shoot. Then he still couldn’t. Jaden Ivey wasn’t playing enough. Then he still wasn’t.

DETROIT – Motor City Cruise executives, players, and staff spoke to media on Friday as the team works through training camp at the Pistons Performance Center. New Cruise head coach Jamelle McMillan, who came to the organization with Pistons head coach Monty Williams, spoke highly of his team’s ability to set the tone in the
